United Kingdom3 years ago This is an incredibly important story that needed telling and I'm glad there were lots of interviews with victims and the police who tried to put a stop to the horrific behaviour much earlier than it really ended. The narration was strong.
The story-telling was maybe not as good as it could have been and I was left wanting a little more.
Podchaser43 years agoDaniel Lang- Thankyou for letting the truth out
It’s an important story that needed telling, but sad and tragic. Lots of interviews with the victims and the police that tried in vein to prosecute. Thanks to the victims for speaking out. Only criticism is the sound is a bit low, hard to hear, especially episode 3.

Podcast Addict54 years agoLuke Labbernathy- Beyond belief.
